Pros

I can honestly say that I've never been surrounded by so many genuine, authentic, and nice people in my career. The work environment is one where colleagues truly care about each other. It may sound simple but it's really motivating to be at a company where employees care so much about each other and the company cares about you- as a person not just another employee. There is also a mindset here where leadership is always questioning the status quo, pushing everyone to think bigger and differently, not get complacent, and to push for disruption if it will make us better. For a company over 30 years old and very successful, it's incredible to see and hear our leaders pushing for new ways of thinking so actively. There is no "old vs. new" guard that you might see at other companies. In addition to all this, the offices are gorgeous, comfortable, and creative. Food is excellent and subsidized a lot (not free which I like as there's no waste and less entitlement that what I've experienced at other Valley companies).

Cons

No real cons from a working perspective, I could get picky and say the elevators get crowded at lunch time and parking is tough if you show up to work late!

Pros

Nothing other than good insurance.

Cons

New Magento support management that started in October 2018 has created an environment of fear and intimidation. They have put at least one person on a PIP in each support team and fired them to scare everybody else. We feel disconnected from larger Adobe. Management has absolutely zero respect to their subordinates, especially lower ranking ones. Adobe "Unlimited PTO" has been codified into 10 business day per year by support management. Mandatory overtime that is enforced by fear. 6-week competition with $25 gift card prize - what a joke.

Pros

- High-salary, awesome benefits, time off (shutdown, sabbatical) etc. - Amazing vision and story to tell customers - A lot to learn since the product suite and industries they touch keeps growing - Cruise by and still not get fired makes for a pretty easy job - Amazing PR and on many lists of "best places to work" so you can share that on social media

Cons

- Very political organization like many other large corporations with "meh....so so" leaders who either moved up the ranks by just working there forever (but didn't grow true leadership skills) or newer and somewhat better leaders who are cut-throat and moved up by stomping on others - Does not care about people, it's all about closing business and leveraging the weaker/nice people to push their agendas - No people develop whatsoever, no concept of goal setting, quarterly check-in and promotions happen based on tenure not talent/deliverables. - Mid-level managers are just individual contributors with a manager title, you will learn nothing from them and they won't develop you either. They cruise and hope you cruise with them - No diversity even though they are on many lists, its all paid PR. Most of the top leaders are White or Indian men. They have some token female leaders but they all hold leadership roles for HR or CSM type organizations and they aren't the best of the best coz they keep the best to do actual work.
